Verkeerder Kill Falls, Cascading waterfall in Ulster County, United States
The 187-foot Verkeerder Kill Falls flows from the Shawangunk Ridge, creating a white curtain of water against dark rock formations.
Dutch settlers named the waterfall in the early 1700s, with the first documented mention appearing in Johannes Hardenbergh's 1717 land patent application.
The falls form part of the Long Path, a notable hiking network stretching from New York City to the Capital District.
Visitors access the falls through a 3-mile trail in Sam's Point Preserve, with viewing opportunities limited to the upper section near rocky outcrops.
The waterfall emerges from a distinctive dwarf pine barren ecosystem, where two small streams converge at 2,060 feet elevation.
